“…In the network deployment without obstacles, we compare ADA with DMCR [45], a recent directional clustering routing protocol, PWDGR [46], a recent geographic routing protocol, and ECR [47], a recent efficient coordination and routing protocol for WSANs. 1000 static sensors are deployed randomly in the network area with a various number of actors.…”

Current routing protocols in wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) shows a lack of unification for different traffic patterns because the communication for sensor to actor and that for actor to actor are designed separately. Such a design poses a challenge for interoperability between sensors and actors. With the presence of rich-resource actor nodes, we argue that to improve network lifetime, the problem transforms from reducing overall network energy consumption to reducing energy consumption of constrained sensor nodes. To reduce energy consumption of sensor nodes, especially in challenging environments with coverage holes/obstacles, we propose that actor nodes should share forwarding tasks with sensor nodes. To enable such a feature, efficient interoperability between sensors and actors is required, and thus a unified routing protocol for both sensors and actors is needed. This paper explores capabilities of directional transmission with smart antennas and rich-resource actors to design a novel unified actor-oriented directional anycast routing protocol (ADA) which supports arbitrary traffic in WSANs. The proposed routing protocol exploits actors as main routing anchors as much as possible because they have better energy and computing power compared to constraint sensor nodes. In addition, a directional anycast routing approach is also proposed to further reduce total delay and energy consumption of overall network. Through extensive experiments, we show that ADA outperforms state-of-the-art protocols in terms of packet delivery latency, network lifetime, and packet reliability. In addition, by offer fault tolerant features, ADA also performs well in challenging environments where coverage holes and obstacles are of concerns.

“…Therefore, we conduct various simulations with obstacles. In cases with obstacles, we compare ADA with two recent routing protocols which are designed specifically for such a scenario with obstacles, including ROT [48], OAR [49], and ECR [47]. A model for obstacles using in simulations can be found in [48,50].…”
